The 音乐 Education program provides a balance of courses and performance experiences to help students develop skills as musicians and teachers. Students pursue a broad base of general studies, applied music, music theory, and music history and literature, along with professional education requirements. While students focus their education specifically in one area (vocal or instrumental), with additional study, the degree may be earned with emphasis in both areas. Completion of this degree will also prepare students for success in performance and graduate work.
